In my opinion, at the "distributive level" which Blowout is at, they should not "gauge" customers early on. Meaning, they should have listed boxes at $89.95 or lower to start. I understand perfectly why Chris is doing it the way he is, I just feel it's bad for his business.

Have you noticed blowout's the only one with a full case of season 1 on ebay still? So I'm not surprised by the actions with season two. Just doesn't bode well tho for the "little fish" trying to get a box or two. As someone posted earlier, he better make a good amount of profit on this release, for all the $$ he will lose from customers on other releases.

Again, just my opinion, and don't ban me... lol

I usually spend around 2-3K at the National Sports Collectors Convention at Blowout's booth. Not so sure that will be the case from now on.

I know that the National was coming to Cleveland sometime in the next year or two, I'm with you. If the world does not end on 12/21/12 and I make it to the National, that will be one booth that I will avoid.

I will say this, if it wasn't for this thread that BO has for free, I would not have been able to get a pre order in. So while a few people knock BO pretty hard in this case, remember that your are on their site and for that I am grateful. I'm sure there are many people that have never directly placed an order but yet use the free services they provide. It goes both ways. Just sayin.

Blogs/Forums are everywhere, threads can me made anywhere, information will get out and can be found elsewhere. BO lying to customers and gouging collectors will have an effect on their future business. So BO may have a free service here but committed a disservice to its customers.

You act like this is would be getting banished from your family, which is kinda pathetic.

The forums are tools to get the users to buy stuff. Contests, "post your breaks here", etc. So, before you act like these forums are offered out of the goodness of their hearts, think about it. Everything is about money.

With the way this has gone, I'm halfway tempted to just take my money and buy a case of Big Bang Theory. Those are still well below $1,000 and they will probably have a ton of good hits. I'm so conflicted.

I'd hurry and secure cases through your contacts. I tried to reorder more cases, and all my dist's are now out, which is why BO's price went up a bit.

To me it seems like they are waiting until closer to the release date and/or the S3 TV premiere to show us the rest of what we are looking for (base/wardrobe cards, rest of the autos, chase redemptions (please!), etc). I know people in this thread said they are still waiting on some signatures to be returned too.

That's actually pretty cool. I've got no problem with Nicotero being included because he's one of the biggest reasons why those zombies look so sick to begin with. At this point though additional characters would be preferred... I guess I just like having pages without gaps in them... A3 & A4 missing in S1 still bothers me when I open my binder.

You really keep spaces open in your binder? There were no A3 and A4 released with Season 1, why would you leave a space for them lol.

I just followed the numbering. Nothing all that complicated... people were talking about it and I'm honestly not surprised if it ever did happen. I mean if they didn't get the cards back on time but some of them got signed... well I mean there's gotta be a template out there for it in some capacity.

Never know... and if it did happen where they got released somehow I'd plug them into those spaces.

I understand the need to make money but an introductory price should not be as high as a market dictated price after the release.

Guess I'm just wondering if they'll lower it again once the people who HAVE to get this with deeper pockets spend themselves into their credit ceiling. I'm sure the people who just buy a box or two here and there won't be participating this time around at these prices.

I just keep wondering if the singles out of this product will be able to support a price point that high for a box or a case. We really have no idea how much an Andrew Lincoln will go for especially if there are a lot of them out there. This will go down as the most interesting release of the year for me in terms of how everything has gone from announcement to the release.

Not sure, but there are definitely folks who are going to be rabid for Lincoln, especially the fact that I just don't remember a whole hell of a lot of autos out there for him. I just hope that I can get at least half the case I ordered... I'm not holding out hope at this point because it seems like from the dodgy answers I got on my pre-order that I'll probably not even get 1/3rd of what I originally thought I'd get.

I just wanted to reduce the amount of autos I'd have to track down... I was also really not wanting to have to go out in the wild in search of a sketch card. At this rate though I'll have no choice since I'm most likely not getting the benefit of the allocation race since I'm not a 'big dog.'
